From gunblast:

A lot of my initial shooting was done using the excellent, fully adjustable A2 style aperture sights, which are easily removable, but for accuracy testing, I mounted a Leupold Mark 4 scope atop the upper receiver’s integral Picatinny rail.

44MAG.com sells the mags for 17.99 each. I bought a couple the other day. They came very quick.

Repost from my Mini Me Thread regarding the MP 15-22

At the Range with the triplets
Range day to take the triplets out. This was actually the first time out for all three of them. (Even though I have had the GSG-5 for quite some time.)
I will try to give a little comparison in the shooting differences.

The first one out of the case was the M&P 15-22. Truthfully I was most excited to shoot this little gem. I love the fit and feel of it. However, I was not too happy with the performance. The target below is from the 15-22. Accuracy was not an issue. I was shooting off hand at 25 yrds. I did not even mess with adjusting the sights as there were way too many FTF problems. Because of the difficulties I only got off less than 40 rounds. I have three mags for it, all were originally loaded with Remington Golden Bullets, something that I have always preferred. Yet, there was a issue with the feed. It was like the shell was not getting aligned with the bolt. It was not a mag issue, all were the same. I think the ejector was catching it before it was supposed to. I tried some Remington 22 Subsonics as well but they did the same thing. I had a couple other brands at home I did not bring along. I wish that I would have had some Rem Oil along, as I did not clean anything before taking them out. I will strip it later and try again tomorrow.

This second target was from the GSG-AK. Can you say FLAWLESS! Boom ever time. Only problem is that I only have one mag for it presently. But look at the group. Not too bad with the open sights.

This last target is from the GSG-5. Once again not a single issue. Yet I did have a problem getting used to the sights on it. As you can see there is quite a spray. Many of them

Altogether I had a good time out. I am hoping to strip the 15-22 and try again tomorrow. I will give an update when I know something.

Called SW this afternoon. They suggested that the 15-22's like to run pretty wet. So I will strip it, lube it and try again tomorrow.

I ran 500 rounds and 2-3 ftf and dud ammo..Good luck with her!!!

IF anyone runs their Semi-Auto DIRTY & DRY you will have FTF's. Dirty & lubed is OK.
Lube the Slide and the FEED RAMP EVERY 50 rounds and unless you have a mechanical problem your FTF's will go away.
Proper Lubrication of Your Auto Pistol and Revolver
Scroll down to about the 10th paragraph which starts with:
First the semi-auto - Read THAT paragraph and the next longer one after it.
Happy jam free shooting.
